Nestle shares an advocacy of wellness, promoting a healthy lifestyle for Filipinos, through their I Choose Wellness (ICW) program. It is a program enhancing the value of good food and good life, including proper nutrition and physical activity. This campaign gives nutrition counseling to public and private agencies, business establishments, schools and retail outlets, conducted by expert nutritionists, chefs and fitness instructors, among others.
According to the World Health Organization, “Health is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.” Nestle pitch in in promoting health by offering good food for a good life.
Cora Sager, corporate wellness head, noted that there is no good food and bad food, but only good and bad diets. “Moderation, variety and balance are keys to wellness,” she added. Moderation is eating the right serving portion. Variety is having different fruits and vegetables. Balance is more water and less sugar, salt and fat.
Over the years, Nestle has been allotting a big portion of its budget for research and development to offer the public nutritious and high-quality foods. In fact, Cerelac, the first Nestle product, was formulated out of founder Henri Nestle’s desire to save a dying child from malnutrition.
In choosing the right food for well-being, fads and extravagance are out. Simple enjoyment is in. There is no need to skip meals or fast, just moderation. Eating the right combination of bread and cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables, and protein will give you the energy and protection the body needs. Of course, there must be exercise or physical activity. Then we are on the road to wellness.
